I never saw that wee hut as i decided to take the lower route across the river, wish i had though. I did the full section; (Barisdale to Shiel Bridge) and it was pishing it doon coming over the Bealach and down to Shiel Bridge. Stoated into the Ratagan YH utterly drenched, the staff were awesome. I really should have just camped a few miles N/W of Kinloch Hourn.

I did half of CRT last year 2018 end of April & had 2 weeks of sun & didnt put my Paramo on once apart for warmth. I went in the farmhouse cafe at end of loch, they had pots of tea & fruit cake. dont know if thats all they had left or only thing they sold? bloke was a bit off or maybe he wanted to "shut shop" but it was very welcome especially from all the sun all week..lol I stayed in the shepherds hut as it was too windy to pitch my terra Nova laser Comp so did the same as you slept well despite the hut rattling with the step ladders & window lever jammed against door. the Forcan ridge was blowing a hooly but stayed on the Sheil Br. campsite, it has a great shop with everything you need. think I got a tin of stag chili & rice & Alpen Muesli, they have great "Ma Baker" flapjacks which are huge & different flavours, also sell compede etc etc if needed. he,s a bit short (grumpy) also, he changed his name to "sheil bridge" or something. I went in the pub too like you did a mile away like you did & had meal & couple of pints but had day off in sheil bridge. ... BTW my trail name is LILO if you come across it from TGO Challenge (done that 8 times on different routes) .... I spent most of the week binge watching your vids ... brill

Hi Hounds, you were 100% right to stop and rest, es[pecially with the wee girl flagging abit. The "Tea Room" was the first building you came to. Tony runs the B&B there, ( I stayed there back in May) on my way into Knoydart. I cannot remember seeing a sign, but you could have just walked in (I know ...abit late now). Did not envy you with that climb out of Kinloch Horn, bloody steep! I crossed over a bealach and into Corie Reih, there from Glen Shiel in May, I must have missed your wooden stalkers hut. Thats me done for now, I'm off to Applecross for 3 days tomorrow, I 'll have to catch up with the rest of your reports at the weekend.

Yeah, that's one of the things I was concerned about: pushing too hard, too early and then burning out and not being able to finish. It's so easy for things to go wrong when you are on these long hikes when you only have a certain window of time to do it in! It's a shame I missed the tea room actually. I had been fantasizing about what they would sell and what I might get, haha! Aye, it's a crackin' bit up there. You might have went to the left at the top and then straight whereas I curved round to the right to where the river crossing was meant to be. That's when I came across that wee stalkers hut. Have fun in Applecross! Is that you off to continue your journey up there?

Hi Hounds, yes i'm doing a road section tomorrow continuing on from Applecross first 'cos the bus only runs on a wednesday, then back to filling in the gap between Kyle of Lochalsh then a between Strahcarron & Tornapress.. Kipping in the car tonight, then camping in LochCarron for a couple of nights. Setting off for the long drive north in a couple of hours.Cheers
